Cheap Cars Under $10,000

Solid Used Vehicles for Car Shoppers on a Budget

You’ll find a large selection of cars on the used market that cost less than $10,000. However, many of them are seven to 10 years old or more, although there are certainly exceptions. Within this massive pool of vehicles, many are probably not worth buying. Sure, you may get a good deal, but if the car wasn’t a top choice when it was new, it probably isn’t going to be a solid option as a used car.

If you’re going to invest in a used car, it’s important to make sure you’re getting one that’s highly rated. Of course, different vehicles receive positive reviews for different reasons. Some may be highly reliable, others are exceptionally safe, and others provide accommodating interiors or dynamic performance. The best cars offer a respectable combination of all these qualities.

We include all of the above factors in our scoring and ranking system. So, a car that scores highly will offer at least some – if not multiple – positive attributes. We’ve sifted through our rankings to determine which used vehicles under $10,000 have the highest overall U.S. News scores. 

Every used car on our list has a score of at least 8.8 out of 10. We’ve ranked the vehicles from good to best by their U.S. News score. However, since some vehicles have the same overall score, we’ve given the win to those with lower average transaction prices.

Navigate through the following pages for more details about the best used cars under $10,000. It’s important to note that used car prices vary for multiple reasons, so we use average transaction prices to give you an estimate of what to expect.

Say goodbye to the Competition package and say hello to the Competition; the popular optional bundles for BMW’s M cars have become their own model now. This change starts with  the 2019 M5 Competition, which will be available this summer and adds an extra scoop of power and sportiness to the already highly capable regular model. The Competition model will cost $110,995, a $7400 increase over the base price of the standard 2018 M5. The twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V-8 engine gets a small bump from the base M5’s 600 horsepower to 617. The power peak also changes, from 5700 to 6600 rpm in the lesser car to exactly 6000 rpm in the Competition. Maximum torque remains at 553 lb-ft and is available from 1800 rpm all the way until 5860 rpm, an increase of 160 revs at the high end. The result, BMW says, is a zero-to-60-mph time that drops by 0.1 second to 3.1 seconds; however, the regular car hit 60 mph in a shocking 2.8 seconds  in our testing , so BMW’s time is likely ...
  German firm forecasts sales of EVs and plug-in hybrids will top 800,000 a year by 2025 in multi-billion-pound electric push Audi is betting big on electric and plug-in hybrid models, after announcing it expects “around one in three” customers will choose an electrified car within seven years. The firm says every car in its line-up will be available as an electric model by 2025, with most being fully electric vehicles (EVs) and a “smaller proportion” being plug-in hybrids (PHEVs). Audi predicts 800,000 customers will choose one of these ‘e-models’ in 2025; the company sold roughly 1.87 million cars worldwide last year
                      TOP 10!! MOST EXPENSIVE CARS The most expensive cars in the world are so much more than transportation. These rolling art pieces encapsulate the priorities of the one percent, and in that universe, flamboyance and swagger take precedence over practicality and efficiency. Lifestyle criticisms aside, these are truly mind-boggling machines, and we’d like to count down our favorites for you here. 10. Zenvo ST1 ($1.2M) Kicking off our list is less of a car and more of an unchained animal in the ST1. Assembled in Zealand, Denmark, the Zenvo creates an absolutely obscene amount of power by combining a 6.8-liter V8 with both a supercharger and a turbocharger. Just how much is obscene exactly? How about 1,104 horsepower and 1,054 pound-feet of torque, all channeled to the car’s rear wheels. 9. Ferrari LaFerrari ($1.4M) Few cars on the road are more striking, and even fewer accelerate faster. With a dry wei...
